During semiconductor manufacturing, finished silicon microchips need to be released from a carrier tape they stick to by an adhesive. This is done by vacuum forces that (a) hold the chip flat from above and (b) pull the tape off from the chip underside. Sounds simple, but is very tricky ... Read More
The EPFLoop team from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has developed a capsule thanks to which it achieved 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the EPFLoop team has been selected again to participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX ... Read More
The EPFLoop team from Lausanne last year won the 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the team will participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX facilities California. Reliability of the different subsystems constituting the pod is a key point. ... Read More
The hyperthermia therapy (HT), i.e. an increase of the body tissues temperature to 39-43 °C caused by the exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (like radiofrequency or microwaves), has been demonstrated to sensitize tumours to radiotherapy and chemotherapy (i.e. cancer ... Read More
Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) is viewed as a viable option to reduce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. In particular, CO2 injection into deep saline formations (DSF) has been the subject of numerous investigations during the last decade, including pilot and demonstration projects [Reiner ... Read More
Flexible electronic devices are very sensitive against the ingress of oxygen and water vapor from the atmosphere and therefore have to be protected by encapsulation with high barrier films. Such films contain several polymeric or inorganic layers which are deposited from the liquid or ... Read More
Scientists and engineers have been designing and developing computational tools for the numerical simulation of heat transfer processes involving non-conventional heating or cooling effects for several years. Caloric effects rely on temperature variations upon external stimuli, e.g. ... Read More
Material constants are required to develop new materials for the aerospace, automotive and energy industries. With these highly accurate experimentally determined data, complex metallurgical melting processes can be simulated later, for example. The microstructure of the new alloy can be ... Read More
Flows in thin tubes arise in a wide variety of contexts like microfluidics and flows in blood vessels. Stationary laminar incompressible viscous flows in a thin tube were studied empirically and theoretically in the nineteenth century. They are described by the stationary Poiseuille ... Read More
EDF Energy use an Eddy Current Inspection Tool (ECIT) to test the properties of graphite bricks in the cores of UK Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs). The tool comprises a coil containing an alternating current which generates a magnetic field, inducing eddy currents within the nearby ... Read More
